Our Story
The Deer Park High School Hall of Fame was established under the authority of the Alumni Association and with the blessing of the Board of Education in order to both honor those who have dignified Deer Park with their own excellence and their contributions to their community, as well as celebrate those whose roots are in Deer Park.
Our Hall of Fame is unique in that it not only features prominent alumni of Deer Park, but also includes worthy members of the staff and administration that have contributed to Deer Park Schools over the course of its history. There is a great variety of accomplishments that have promoted people into the Hall of Fame. While this is not specifically an Athletic Hall of Fame, we have athletes here. We also have members who have had wonderful careers in many fields, as well as members whose student achievements were exemplary. We have teachers, principals, coaches, superintendents, athletic directors...dancers, athletes, scolars musicians, actors...volunteers, leaders, followers, philanthropists. The only true requirement is that you honor Deer Park by serving our community, our nation, and our world.
One recipient noted, "Lots of good things and good people have come from Deer Park. You can leave Deer Park, but Deer Park will never leave you." Every inductee has felt that special sense of pride that "the Park" has instilled in them.
The Hall of Fame Leadership Team convened in the Summer of 2019 in order to breathe renewed life into this honorable association. It is our heart, our privilege, and our challenge to honor and celebrate Deer Park's brightest "stars."
